My goal is to consciously ‘Wage Love’ in every aspect of my life. I am not a part of any great movement or organization, but I am a part of the collective human experience, and I can contribute to the difference. – Chrystal Ridgeway
From summer floods to widespread power outages, all Detroiters are impacted by the escalating climate crisis and unjust environmental policies facing our city. This community panel will bring together an intergenerational coalition of organizers from Detroit’s environmental & climate justice dedicated to amplifying the solutions we need to ensure safety and equity for all. Rooting in Detroit activist and water warrior Charity Mahouna Hicks’ call to “wage love,” we’ll share fellowship, strategies, healing, and visions for an environmentally just Detroit.
Guiding Questions:
- What makes your environment just and safe?
- How do you contribute to the fight against climate change in your everyday life? In your community?
- What are ways in which your neighborhood’s environment is positively and negatively impacted by local policies?
